The matter of inkstone incense made the father and daughter look at me and I look at you, and they don't know what to say. "Words * love * first * hair and wait for Shen Man's side, July took advantage of the absence of others, and couldn't help but persuade: "Lady, the slave maid has seen that inkstone, she is very beautiful, quiet and elegant, she does things properly, and she is exquisite, everyone who sees it will say good, you ...... "Find such a master to come in, do you think your life is getting better and better?" If she remembers correctly, it is not an exaggeration to say that Yanxiang is the most beautiful and the most capable girl in Pengze County.

Shen Man pressed the bronze mirror and said with a smile: "Such an outstanding girl naturally has a high spirit. ”

choked on July, but still didn't give up: "But how can Liu Kuan be compared to the king?" ”

Liu Kuan was born ordinary, and he was quite short, if a woman could choose Ruyi Langjun based on her appearance alone, he would definitely be the kind who couldn't marry a daughter-in-law in his first year, but Qin Ke was different. Although he was oppressed, he was also the eldest son of Qin Heng, who was famous in Taizong, and he was full of poetry and books, and he was very knowledgeable. What's more, Qin Ke's appearance is cool and his mother's, but he has no trace of femininity, he is only gentle and elegant, and his bearing is also very extraordinary. The wind and frost over the years have added a little maturity to him, precipitated endless vicissitudes, and the kind of melancholy and sublime that he was born noble since he was a child, and now he is bumpy and drifting, and his charm is better than in the past.

Although Chang'e loves young people, her sister also loves pretty, those young men, maybe this inkstone girl can't look down on her, but it's just like Qin Ke. Besides, Qin Ke's identity is different after all, if he can go back one day, he will be able to soar just around the corner. According to the law of Great Xia, if you follow Liu Kuan, you will always be a nameless and undivided maid, and your children are also slaves and maids when they are born, as for Qin Ke...... Even if he can't restore the title of prince, he has to give him a county king. In addition to the concubine, the king of the county also has a quota of eight concubines, but they are all serious and have a golden book, and there are seals, and the children may be able to get a title and save their lives!

"July, you, you ......" Shen Man shook his head amusedly, took out a bag of money from the cabinet and gave it to July: "In the past few days, you have asked Cheng Fang to inquire where Yanxiang is, and after she leaves her nationality and returns to her hometown, she will use the money to buy some good things and go to the local matchmaker with a broken mouth or a small amount of energy." Remember, make sure to promise that there will be more rewards to be given when the deed is done. ”

Seeing that Shen Man was so determined, it seemed that things would definitely not work out, and July didn't say anything anymore. She took the money, answered, and told Cheng Fang that night that Cheng Fang would go out early the next morning.

The population of Pengze County is not more than 10,000, and in addition to those who live in the county seat, there are many people living in villages outside the county seat, although they do not have much contact with each other, they are definitely not strangers. Cheng Fang was very quick in his work, and within two days he found out that Yanxiang was originally from Lijia Village, twelve miles away from Zhangjia Village, with an elder brother, two younger brothers, and two younger sisters, and his parents lived on a few acres of teaching fields. A few years ago, my younger brother was seriously ill and had no money to get medicine, so my parents gritted their teeth and sold her. Now, Yanxiang's brothers and sisters have become a family under her subsidies and the care of the officials, buying land and land, and life is not bad, but she is one of them.

In other words, although the Li family is not rich and expensive, they don't have to sell their sons and daughters.

After getting Cheng Fang's reply, Shen Man's eyebrows didn't move: "What about Yanxiang?" When will I get home? ”

Qiyue heard the sound of footsteps not far away, raised his voice knowingly, and replied: "I heard that the new envoy will come soon, Liu Envoy Jun has already released all the local servants in the family, but because life is still inconvenient, these people will serve the old master for a few days. As for inkstone...... I've come home. ”

"Manniang-" Qin Ke was pulling his daughter, asking her to endorse while walking, and happened to hear this, so he handed Qin Wan to Qiyue, and said very sincerely, "I don't need a concubine." ”

Shen Man's expression was sincere, but there was a little sour in his words: "Even so, you need someone to take care of you, a man is too careless, after all, he can't be as gentle and considerate as a woman." ”

"Oh, Manniang, why are you doing this......"

Why bother? I've survived the most painful time, will I be afraid of now? Don't say that just one inkstone, even ten or eight more stunning beauties who have captivated the country and the city, I will not be afraid, because I know you too well.

Acting King Qin Ke is really a very, very, very nostalgic person!

Qin Wan hid behind the door frame and secretly stretched his neck out to look, his delicate little face wrinkled.

She always felt that something was wrong, but what was wrong?

Hehe, Aye and A-Niang don't want to sue her, no problem, she went to find Zhao Jiulang!

"Help you go and follow...... Cheng Erlang? Faced with Qin Wan's whim, Zhao Jiu couldn't cry or laugh, "Why?" ”

Why is Qin Wan familiar with Zhao Jiu? It's not strange to say that Zhao Jiu, who is dedicated to sincerity, meets Qin Ke, who is not familiar with popular affairs, it is really bitter in his heart, and it doesn't make sense for Niu to play the piano. In addition, Pengze County is too small, the population is not even 10,000, and relying on the Yangtze River, the people will not be depressed and fight Cheng Dù, who will not survive in the event of a natural disaster, and there is not even a mountain bandit and homeless people around. Even if Zhao Jiuyi is capable, in this kind of place, in addition to going up the mountain to hunt some game, it is useless for heroes.

Shen Man looked at it coldly, and found that the team with the largest official position in the soldier was in such a situation because he was middle-aged, and he sighed all day long, drunk like mud, and it was quite a bit of a waste of his life. Over the years, Zhao Jiu has unconsciously established his prestige little by little, although he does not have an official position, those young soldiers have a faint meaning of taking him as the leader, which shows that this is a person with considerable means and ability.

She is an extremely shrewd woman, and she almost exchanged her life for Qin Ke's absolute trust, and there is no reason to withdraw her hands, not to mention that she also has an idle nephew who is in the capital. Liu Kuan can receive Deng Jiang's letter, and she can naturally get the news from her nephew Shen Huai, and at first sight, she knows that someone is deliberately muddying this mess and planning to make a profit from it. In that case, why didn't she plan ahead and plan for the future?

Because of this, after learning the news, Shen Man immediately took out the money he had worked hard to accumulate in the past few years and asked Cheng Fang to buy some land, and the head of the household was Zhang Wu - that's right, it was Zhang Wu who couldn't restrain his curiosity, was caught by Zhao Jiu, and was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.

Shen Man promised Zhang Wu that the tenant would cultivate for him the land for which he was responsible, and bought 160 acres of Yongye land in the name of him and a few other idlers. But Zhang Wu and they could only take 20% of the harvest from these fields, and the rest was all collected by Zhao Jiu.

The law stipulates that middle-aged men and Ding men over the age of 18 are each given 80 acres of land, which must be cultivated, and 20 acres of Yongye field, which is the upper limit of private property. The tax is calculated according to one horse per mu of silk or cloth, and two stones of corn, and the average family, as long as they are diligent and willing to work a little, their lives are quite rich. However, people like Zhang Wu, who spend their days idle, have no land in their own Yongye fields, and do not cultivate their fields, it has long been a common practice to hide, repay debts, and detain them when taxes are collected.

Cheng Fang and Zhao Jiu sang with a red face and a white face, and they were tempted by interests, Zhang Wuer, who had already been obedient, didn't say a word, and immediately agreed, living a good life of hello, hello, hello, everyone. Subsequently, Shen Man pointed out a clear path to Zhao Jiu - my daughter can't help but be popular, she has to go down to the ground to take a look, she has a wild temperament, and Cheng Fang and Qiyue, who abide by their duties as masters and servants, are afraid that they can't stand it. You go to protect her, play with her, and teach her some self-defense skills by the way. As long as you dangle in front of Bao'er every day, it is difficult for Da Lang not to pay attention to you.

Zhao Jiu knew that Qin Wan was Qin Ke's pearl, and he would not deceive her for being young, and he was very careful in what he said and did. As for Qin Wan, she felt that she was treated as an adult, and she was very happy in her heart, so she looked at Zhao Jiu and said with a smile: "A-Niang wants to buy a maid named Yanxiang in Liu Yuanjun's mansion, but she is already free, so Cheng Erlang will go to do this!" ”

"This ......" Zhao Jiu was really embarrassed when he heard it, "You mean ......" This kind of thing, he doesn't want to participate in it!

Qin Wan "ah" for a moment, and said strangely: "I don't mean anything, I just want you to take a look, well, it's best to take me to see it." She always felt that what A-Niang had planned, this thing might not be possible. Besides, she doesn't want an inexplicable woman to be inserted into her family!

A-Niang doesn't tell her, it doesn't matter, she can see it by herself and think for herself. Aya said it well, read the book a hundred times, its meaning is self-revealed, I see it with my own eyes, it can't be wrong, right?

Just now I helped her take a look, but now it's best to take her to see it, if you refuse again...... Will it become necessary to take her to watch?

Children are sometimes very unreasonable, especially when they are responsive and almost never refused...... Zhao Jiu looked at Qin Wan with a wry smile, and saw that her face was full of seriousness, and couldn't help sighing: "Listen to you, but if Cheng Erlang enters the house to talk about things, this gentleman on the beam, I, Zhao Jiu, may not be able to do it." ”

Qin Wan tilted his head and thought about it, nodded seriously, and said, "Okay then!" When I talk to my mother in July, I'll come over and listen! "A-Niang said that you have to know how to make good use of people, Zhao Jiulang can't be a gentleman on the beam, and he can't force himself, right? Aya said that they are the descendants of saints, and one day they will be able to return to the prosperous imperial capital.

Thinking like this, she burst into a big smile: "I'm going back!" ”

How easy to talk to?

Zhao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, Qin Wan tilted his head when he saw this, a little puzzled.

Speaking of which, Zhao Jiu seems to listen to Aya A-Niang very much, if it is said that he listens to Aya because of ...... He is a man, so why listen to A-Niang? Is it because ...... A-Niang gave him money?

Like, what do you understand?

In that case, let's go and count your private money!
